Compare the BMW X1 vs Skoda Kodiaq
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Skoda Kodiaq is the longer car and can have a third row of seats, whereas the BMW X1 cannot. Around town, both give you light steering to help with manoeuvring. Inside their cabins, you will find some hard, scratchy plastics lower down in each. Out on a twisty road, all X1 models are good fun, while the Kodiaq is not very much fun to punt down a twisting back road, even if it is perfectly capable of staying safe and stable. On the motorway, wind and road noise are well-contained at a cruise in the Kodiaq, whereas the X1 brings some wind noise, as well as tyre roar on larger wheels.
